Look at the size of that backpack! chuckle chuckle...that much homework, eh? :)

We had a new school built last year and in our supposedly "green" school they put in walk-in potties with electric flushers and handwashers...lousy and use twice as much water...no yellow lines except the half moons painted for doors...seen a few kiddos get beaned good...and in the cafeteria, all the food is pre-cooked preservative CR-P! and micro heated and the "green" air system, costing 1 million smakeroos breaks down every week...yup, tax payers $$ hard at work again...flushing down that fancy sensor-toilet!

Reminds of my littlest Nephew, Ben. When Ben was four, his asshole father decided it was time to give him an adult lecture on why he should pay attention and behave a certain way. Young Ben stood there looking up at his father as he went on in his adult diatribe for ten minutes (I'm assuming it all sounded like the teacher from Peanuts cartoons, mwa-mhwaa-mwaa-waa-waa). When Asshole (since divorced from my lovely sister) finished, he asked Ben if he understood. Ben, quick as a whip, just looked at him and said:

"yeah, and my dog sings, too." !!!

Four years old! Had me busting a gut for hours. Kids are wise beyond their years...

Thanks for all the great comments boys and girls!I got in late from doin' that carpet thing and I'm trying to catch up.I get a charge out of listening to how kids interperet their world,because it is a different world.I often think that they have a much keener grasp on reality than adults.

You go little dude! Kindergarten is the best! It's such a riot watching the little humans go forth and get with the bigger world.

Sigh.. makes me a wee bit sad the Hurricane is Mr. Big Man on Campus 5th grader this year. Just entered the land of double digits today as a matter of fact. They start getting sarcastic then. OK, mine always has been, never mind.

Go Little Newt! Sounds like he's got an important piece of life figured out!

My grandson is starting Kindergarten in a couple of weeks. Last weekend we took him to a festival where there was some live music. At the end of the day, grandson met up with one of the musicians at the drinking fountain and said, "I liked your music." (G & G smiled with pride at his charm). Then he added, "But I like The Cars Movie better." Great age, five.
